Setup is hellish

Any objections to:

Adding the /useenv means that one's PATH actually gets through. This is important for the _ssl.vproj build. It calls build_ssl.py which tries to find a Perl to use. Without "/useenv" Visual Studio is getting a PATH from somewhere else (presumably from its internal environment configuration). The result is that build_ssl.py fallsback to its "well-known" locations for a Perl install.

On one mahcine I was trying this on I didn't have Perl installed to C:\Perl but to C:\Perl58. People who install to an alternate drive might also get surprised.
